San Diego ZooOne of the reasons that Southern California is such a popular vacation destination is the great beaches that are found here. The San Diego area is no exception. In addition to the great theme parks and attractions like the San Diego Zoo, the area also has beautiful beaches and fun activities, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing beach vacation.

The San Diego area offers many options for beachfront relaxation. Popular ocean destinations include Mission Bay, Coronado Island, Imperial Beach, and Ocean Beach. Any of these locations is a great place to spend the day on the sand or enjoy a variety of beach activities. July 18 and 19, you can catch the U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition at Imperial Beach. This competition is one of the biggest in the country, and the sandcastles you will see here are unbelievable. The event is complete with a variety of food vendors, entertainment, and more.

There is no better way to get the most out of a beach vacation than by staying at a beachfront resort. We offer a number of resorts that offer deluxe accommodations on the beach.
